The last day without Itsuki around, Hoshitani feels sick. He's hot, probably a fever, and almost no energy. He's never felt this bad before, plus, he even doesn't get sick often. 'What's going on? I feel terrible. I want to sleep more… But, if I do, I don't think I'll be able to wake up again… Itsuki…' Hoshitani holds the charm to his chest, the charm glowing, the power purifying him, and keeping the illness at bay for the time being.
Panting, Hoshitani sleeps for a few hours as the charm does its thing. "Itsuki…" he calls in his sleep. Hoshitani gets up periodically to try to eat and drink, helping only a little bit. He still calls for Itsuki in his sleep.
It was late at night when Itsuki finally appeared, coming in from the window, moonlight seeping through. He's dressed in his usual kimono, but takes off the mask as he sees Hoshitani's asleep. "Itsuki…" He hears the boy call for him, and smiles. "I'm right here," Itsuki says as he puts a hand to Hoshitani's forehead.
Cringing, Itsuki frowns, "You're really sick, aren't you? I go out for three days, and this is what happens." Hoshitani, feeling the cold on his forehead, blinks, looking up at him. "I didn't mean to wake you," Itsuki smiles sadly. Hoshitani stares at him, at Itsuki's ruby eyes, "It's OK."
"I feel like if I don't do this, you'll die," Itsuki says as he takes out a clay jug full of water from Mt. Fuji from his kimono, "This is the only way." Hoshitani blinks, "Is that…" Itsuki nods, "Yes. Do you trust me?" Hoshitani nods, "Completely."
Itsuki opens the jug, Hoshitani trying to sit up, but falls back down again. "Right… You're too exhausted to move, so… I'll do it for you," Itsuki smiles as he leans over Hoshitani with the jug in hand. "Just open your mouth, and let me do the rest. You will be fine," Itsuki says before he takes a few gulps of water, and kisses Hoshitani, tilting Hoshitani's head back as he transfers it into the boy. Hoshitani swallows it all before parting, getting air, a trickle of water flowing down his lips. They do this two more times before Hoshitani leans back onto the bed and falls asleep.
Itsuki smiles, licking up the trail of water from the boy's lips, and petting his hair, "Hope you can forgive me," Itsuki whispers as he lays down beside him, hugging Hoshitani to himself tight. They sleep peacefully like that the rest of the night.
The next morning, Itsuki woke up, the first thing he sees is Hoshitani asleep by his side, his arms still around him. Smiling, but unwilling to move from their current position, Itsuki lowers his head to bite Hoshitani's ear lobe, then goes even lower to his neck. He nuzzles it before sucking and biting, leaving a mark behind. Fortunately, this doesn't wake Hoshitani up, but causes him to moan.
Smirking at that reaction, Itsuki blows hot air into Hoshitani's ear as he runs his hands under Hoshitani's shirt, causing the boy to shiver. Unfortunately for Itsuki, Hoshitani wakes up, and head butts him, both of them cringing from the pain, holding their hands to their heads.
"Why?" Itsuki asks. Hoshitani pouts, "You were taking advantage of me while I slept, pervert. At least wait until I'm awake to do that!" Itsuki perks up, "Really? You're fine with this?" Hoshitani blushes, "You did take my first kiss… and turned me into a youkai. Take responsibility, baka."
Itsuki smiles, "Yuta…" Yuta turns away, "I love you." Yuta blushes hard, "Love you too…" Itsuki and Yuta both get up out of bed. "You sure you don't want to be human again?" Itsuki asks. Yuta shakes his head, "I've already made my decision, Itsuki. I'm staying with you." Itsuki sighs, giving up as he knows that he's not going to talk his new love out of this. Yuta gets some paper and a pen, writing a letter to his parents, saying to not look for him. That he's found someone to love, and will be staying with him from now on.
After delivering the letter, Itsuki flies off with Yuta in his arms. "Woooowhoooo!" Yuta yells, and Istuki smiles. Eventually, they land in a safe place, where they live together for the rest of their existences.
Bonus:
They did, however, visit the Tsukigami shrine. Haruto was surprised, but understands that love makes you do crazy things. Tsubasa welcomes them, but advises not to cause trouble. Eventually, Kyouji confesses to Tsubasa, now they're together too. As for Tatsumi and Sawatari… they only said to be careful of other exorcists before leaving the area.
Bonus 2:
Suddenly, one morning, Yuta found himself with white wings of his own. It both freaked him out, and made him excited at the same time. Itsuki, surprised as well, calms him down. Then, he decides to teach him how to fly. Yuta gets the hang of it easily enough, and now they fly together.
